In this session I would like to discuss strategies that I
found to be effective for tutoring a special group of ESL
students--refugees with their college level writing. The
writing of these students is influenced by cultural
characteristics, as well as the unfortunate events of the
refugee experience. I'll share some information on the
refugee communities I've had the pleasure of working with
(in Georgia) and the issues I've observed which hinder
successful writing for college assignments.
